Archive for the ‘a corner of the street’ Category

I was walking by the street of Dhaka University to take some pictures formy photography course, when my eyes moved at the corner of the street where these little boys were playing with some empty bottles and some colorfulstraws. I don’t know why but I became curious to know about them! Somehow these little children really touched my heart. Some of them mentioned that their fathers are Rickshaw-pullers. So I inquired about their life style. Some of them said they read in schools but most of them just play around and do nothing. At that point I realized that they have no idea about the importance of education and neither does their parents. Therefore I told them that they should all go to schools and gain knowledge so that they can earn a lot of respect and money in the society and lead a very good and healthy life in the future.

After a while I took out my camera to take their pictures, and I cannot express in words how happy they were. Before I could ask them to stand in a line, they started giving different poses. Then I told them that I will take their pictures only if they promise me that they will convince their parents to admit them toschool. Without even uttering any other word they all at once smiled and screamed saying the word “PROMISE’’.
